this video is very useful for people who do not know about Abu Dhabi, because most people think that Dubai is the Capital of the UAE. Also its show how the UAE changed from poverty to wealth and that especially after the oil industry.

This is an amazing documentary showing the history of Abu Dhabi and showing the whole journey that Abu Dhabi went through starting from the discovery of oil until it became one of the biggest cities in the middle east. I loved that it shows Abu Dhabi's industries in many fields such as farming, fishing, buildings, education, investments and sports. His Highness Shaikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan (RIP) was a great ruler and his expand vision moved not only Abu Dhabi but the whole UAE to a well recognized stage.

The UAE provided us free access to to many things like education and health care. I remember when I used to get free notebooks and uniforms to encourage us to go to schools. Also my eldest brothers got paid to study and they were giving a salary to help them get everything they might need for school.
